0.2.2 (2026-05-26)

Release highlights

• Deprecated train() fully replaced by fit() across all examples, scripts, and documentation — the API is now consistent with scikit-learn conventions throughout.

• assert in _batch_forward replaced with an explicit RuntimeError so unfitted-model errors survive python -O optimised mode.

Fixed

• Replace assert self.model is not None with an explicit RuntimeError in _batch_forward — assertions are silently stripped under python -O, causing an unhelpful AttributeError from PyTorch when calling predict() or predict_proba() on an unfitted model. See issue #113 by @direkkakkar319-ops.

• Replace deprecated train() with fit() in scripts/train_model.py. See issue #111 by @iccccccccccccc.

• Replace deprecated train() with fit() in examples/01_quickstart.py. See issue #112 by @iccccccccccccc.

• Replace deprecated train() with fit() in examples/02_save_and_load.py. See issue #135 by @direkkakkar319-ops.

• Replace deprecated train() with fit() in examples/03_evaluation.py. See issue #133 by @Storm1289.

• Replace deprecated train() with fit() in examples/04_custom_labels.py. See issue #134 by @direkkakkar319-ops.

• Update train() to fit() in docs/usage.rst. See issue #126 by @direkkakkar319-ops.

0.2.0 (2026-05-19)

Release highlights

• New model_selection module with train_test_split() and cross_val_score().

• predict_proba() — probability outputs for LIME, SHAP, and ONNX compatibility.

• SentenceClassifier now inherits from sklearn.base.BaseEstimator, enabling full sklearn pipeline and GridSearchCV compatibility.

Added
